Skin Tips

To avoid fungal infection of the toe nails try to keep them short and clean. Avoid getting a pedicure done during this monsoon season, as extra buffing of the nails can weaken the nails.

Did you know that even though the sun might not be always visible during monsoon season, your skin is not safe from the UV rays. I advise my patients to always apply physical sunscreen containing zinc oxide with oil free formulation. This helps to prevent clogging of the pores and still protect the skin from the harmful UV rays.

Tiny hair follicles on the nose can sometimes look like black heads, which don't go even after a clean up. If you really want to get rid of that hair permanently the best option is to go for laser hair removal treatment using ND YAG 1064 nm laser.

Sometimes incessant application of too many anti-aging products or doing multiple procedures without allowing the skin to heal can make the skin more irritable, red and flaky. And give the appearance of more fine lines due to deep dryness and microscopic swelling. So at times its best to stop everything, give your skin a break and then start slowly. Sometimes LESS is MORE.

Avoid hot baths during the winter season. Excess of hot water during the season can be harmful as it drives away the moisture from your skin layer leaving your skin dry and chapped. Instead opt for a quick short bath with slightly warm water.
